my SO went home for 3 weeks, so i've basically have had to cook for myself for the past week.. and for the next 2 weeks.
Leftovers are your friend. I'm cooking for 2, and saving half for the next meal. Boring, but i hate having to both COOK and WASHUP, so this cuts the cooking in half.
Cookbooks. I automatically throw out ALL cookbooks with ingredient lists of more than 6 foods. It doesn't have to be elaborate to taste good.
I'm asian, so my meals tend to be of the rice with assorted stirfry vegetables and meat and various soups.
Pasta is great. Here's a recipe i use for shrimp scampi. A 30 minute meal that tastes great.
Start boiling water and cooking the pasta. This should take 20 min.
Serves 2:
Mince 3 cloves of garlic.
shell 12 medium sized shrimp.
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Saute garlic until it turns pale.
Add lemon juice, salt to to taste. (if you have some dry wine, add some too)
Add shrimp. Finally add some chopped parsley.
Toss together with pasta.
yummy... all in 30 minutes... =)
